According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), solar energy now accounts for 28% of the world’s renewable electricity generation capacity, just ahead of wind with 27%. This time last year, the two were evenly matched at 26% each.

Solar and wind energy are not the only renewable electricity sources, but they are building a dominant position in the market. IRENA’s figures show that solar and wind were responsible for 88% of all new renewable capacity in 2021.

The invasion of Ukraine has highlighted the geopolitical liability for the European Union from fossil fuel imports from autocratic regimes. In response, the European Union is for ways to replace Russian gas imports in the short term, taking critical decisions over investment in infrastructure and economic relationships.

This joint analysis by Bellona, Ember, E3G and Regulatory Assistance Project finds that:

Clean energy can replace two-thirds of Russian gas imports by 2025.

Even at 80 years old, Raphael Mauyu, a dairy farmer from southeast Kenya, has no plans to retire. But not long ago, he worried that his advancing age would soon make it impossible to carry on his labour-intensive job.

The nearest river only flows during the two rainy seasons of the year, so the community has built sand dams – barriers across the river that trap sand, which in turn captures and holds water-to store river water to use when they need it.

With countries racing to end their reliance on the fossil fuels that cause climate change, it’s a boom time for renewable energy. Now, an international team of researchers has determined that if every available rooftop was equipped with solar panels, they could generate enough electricity to power the world.

In addition, rooftop solar has the advantage of both reducing local air pollution—where it replaces conventional fossil fuel-based energy generation—and reducing transmission network loads by decentralizing electricity supply.

Car manufacturer Nissan has announced plans for a major expansion to renewable energy generation at its plant in Sunderland, UK, complementing the facility’s existing wind turbines and solar farm.

The proposed 20 MW extension to the solar farm at the site, consisting of 37,000 additional solar panels, represents a further step in Nissan’s path to carbon neutrality and would result in 20 percent of the plant’s energy coming from onsite renewables if approved.

Iberdrola SA is working to build what it says will be Europe’s largest solar farm at a cost of 300 million euros ($337 million). The Spanish utility has started the process with the country’s Ecological Transition ministry to build a 590-megawatt farm in the Western region of Extremadura, according to a statement Thursday. The company will now follow government rules to hold public hearings and collect comments on the impact on the environment and for landowners, a mandatory process before starting the project.

The global solar photovoltaic (PV) services market is expected to record a 16% growth between 2019 and 2030, according to Technavio. The research firm forecasts revenue generation within the market to reach $10.81 billion. The year over year growth rate for 2019 is estimated at 13.71%.

One of the key drivers for the market will be the increasing new installations and aging asset base of solar pv modules.

The continued decline in the prices of solar modules and the increasing support from governments is positively impacting on the solar market.

The future of solar panels may lie in coffee. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Solargiga Energy in China recently published the results of research in which they saw improved thermal stability of perovskite solar cells and their efficiency increasing from 17% to 20%. This was achieved by applying caffeine on the perovskite layer.

The idea began as a joke over morning coffee, the researchers said in an interview. “One day, as we were discussing perovskite solar cells, our colleague Rui Wang said: ‘If we need coffee to boost our energy then what about perovskites?

After nearly two decades of strong annual growth, renewables around the world added as much net capacity in 2018 as they did in 2017, an unexpected flattening of growth trends that raises concerns about meeting long-term climate goals.

Last year was the first time since 2001 that growth in renewable power capacity failed to increase year on year. New net capacity from solar PV, wind, hydro, bioenergy, and other renewable power sources increased by about 180 Gigawatts (GW) in 2018, the same as the previous year, according to the International Energy Agency’s latest data.

Today, the consensus among leading forecasters is that we can expect continued rapid growth in renewables. Wind and solar power provided 6 per cent of the world’s electricity in 2017, according to the International Energy Agency. By 2040, they are projected to provide 21 per cent in the IEA’s New Policies Scenario, which reflects governments’ announced policies and targets. In the Sustainable Development Scenario, showing a system on track to provide universal energy access while limiting the threat from climate change, they provide 38 per cent.

One-third of the world’s installed electricity generation capacity is from renewable sources, according to the latest industry statistics.

The data compiled by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows that two-thirds of the power capacity added around the world in 2018 was from renewables. Wind and solar accounted for 84% of that total.

2018 was characterized by a spate of solar and wind pricing breakthroughs. Falling interest rates for investors, ongoing technology improvements and regulatory frameworks that encourage competition among would-be developers have all played a part.
